My Testimony About Web Video University
A few months back I wanted to get into making videos for my web business. I knew ‘nada’ about how or what to do to accomplish this. I stumbled accross Dave’s website and paid for the 4 week course that was available at the time. I do not claim to be anything still other than a video newbie, but if you visit my YouTube channel, you’ll see a few of the videos that I personally have done thus far. Not only were they a blast to make, but I have started to get a few offers from people for me to make videos for them (extra income).

Check out the 7 day offer for $1. If you know web video, wanna know web video, think you wanna know web video – get over there today and start the classes.

I don’t know about you, but when I heard about the release of “SlumDog Millionaire” by Latif I was really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. I have to admit the ‘hype’ was compelling. I even created a video (click here) to promote its release. Well the honeymoon’s over …

On a 5 STAR rating, I’ll be generous and give it I guess a ONE! After looking briefly at the ebooks, I also did the upgrade for the video tutorials (since I’m lazy and I personally think I learn better that way), thinking that I must be missing something from the 15 or whatever there were ebooks. I found the ENTIRE series VERY basic. The quality of the videos were ‘average’ and NOT worth the upgrade. This probably should have been released as a ‘freebee’ or ‘give-a-way’ …

If you’re a ‘newbie’, then you might want to get at least the ebook series. If you’ve been in marketing for any length of time, you might want to wait on this one
